I have:
Windows 7 pro
Qt 5.0.1
Qt 4.8.4
Cmake 2.8.10.2
Code::blocks 10.5
And minGW 4.4.1

And I'm trying to build polyvox 0.2.1

So I follow what's written here: http://www.volumesoffun.com/polyvox/doc ... stall.html
For the record, I'm total noob with Cmake, never used it.
Since Cmake doesn't seem to automatically detect everything, I must point most of the paths manually, and after pointing to my polyvox dir and the build subdir, I don't seem to find the "project file" that I'm supposed to open with my IDE.

Here's the list of what's in my polyvox build subdir:

cmake_install.cmake
cmakecache.txt
cpackconfig.cmake
cpacksourceconfig.cmake
ctesttestfile.cmake
dartconfiguration.tcl
makefile
placeholder.txt (not relevant)

Of course, I suppose I did something wrong, but since I don't know how.

Here's the log of Cmake with debug infos:

It looks like CMake has created a makefile rather than a Code::Blocks project file. On Windows I only use Visual Studio so I don't have much experience of other systems, but I came across this:

http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Generat ... _Generator

It seems that creating makefiles is the usual process when using CMake with Code::Blocks, but that there is some support for generating real Code::Blocks project files in recent versions.

Are you running CMake from the command line or through the GUI? If you use the GUI you should get a dialog where you can choose the desired output type, so maybe you see a good option here? I just tried it and the best I saw was 'CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles' and I guess this is the option you tried already?

Does the makefile you have actually work (i.e. did you try running make)? It seems that Code::Blocks also has the option to use an existing Makefile, and this may be what CMake is expecting you to do with its output. See here:

http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?topic=199.0

If you can't get any of this to work, then a fall back option is to skip the PolyVox build process and instead just add all the headers and source files directly into your own project. You might have to fiddle around to get the paths right though - I should add something about this to the instructions.

Yep, I'm using the GUI and you can hit configure once in the beginning and choose what compiler you want, did this, then if you hit "configure" again, it just reloads vars from the array, so you can't choose anymore (except by wiping the cache).

The codeblocks forum info is outdated, from my search what you have to do with latest versions is create an empty project, rightclick on the project, go to properties and check "This is a custom Makefile"
But since I never worked with makefiles, I don't know where to go from there, after linking the path of the makefile.
I've also read that c::b fails to go to the makefile subpath so you have to go to "Project build options" then modify the "Make commands" tab.

I'm afraid I can't really help with that, as I've never used Code::Blocks myself. Maybe you can ask on the Code::Blocks forum? Perhaps there are other people there who use it with CMake and can give a better answer.
